I've always liked a nice Gin and Tonic. A couple of years ago I was wondering why there weren't any "microbrew" gins out there. Bombay and Tanqueray were both nice, but they got a little boring after a while. I finally found a new high-end gin I really like: Junipero Gin. It is from the distillery branch of Anchor Steam Brewing in San Francisco. It has a lovely flavor, without being too weird.

Did you know that Anchor Steam was founded by Mr. Fritz Maytag? Yes, that Maytag. A good thing to do with a family fortune :-).
